He's my favourite player at the time I backed him out of loyalty rather than proper belief that he could win it. The first bet was just after the DC final when he showed he can handle the big stage, which is huge. Second was when he was showing signs he'd be a major contender at RG with his start to the year.

And since I'm so loyal to players I like/players that win me money I'm going to have a bit on my little God PHM, maybe the Flying Frenchman can produce in front of his home crowd (and no I don't think he has a hope in hell of winning it, I just feel like it)

Mate I had to ask BG what a moniker was you Aussies talk a different language, strewth

More additions to my French Open outrights.

I'm throwing the kitchen sink on Rafa, odds up to 4.00 after his tricky draw. An extra £300 on him, plus a £200 double on Rafa and Mauresmo to win the Womens at 10.00 (I know she always chokes at RG but this could be her year, the competition isn't that strong. Justine has won titles but is not playing well, Sharapova and Davenport both don't move well on the clay. Serena out, Venus not in great form. I fear the biggest threat could come from Kim. Worth a go at 10.00 IMO

FWIW, the odds of the outright betting stayed relatively the same and in some cases, got even higher later on in the tourney at the AO earlier this year (although it makes little sense, this was reality) so you could wait to see if any of your horses don't choke early and when left with impending back to back matches against a combo of Fed/Nadal/Gaudio/Coria or whatever, I'm sure the odds will be higher for them to win at that point. But doesn't look like anyone is betting big dogs, so ignore me
